Malted Milk Chocolate Cupcakes

I can’t believe I’m just now getting around to posting the recipe for these delicious little cupcakes.  I made them for Mother’s Day, which seems like an ion ago.  Life has really taken a few crazy turns since then, leaving me very little time for blog posts, food photography and such.

Maybe someday, I will take the time to relay a few of the details but for now…I’ll share a chocolate moment, Malted Milk Chocolate Cupcakes.  Times like these, demand many chocolate moments!!

The picture above, is my cupcake with the first batch of frosting. Sadly, I ran out of butter and decided to use some lard instead… what the heck was I thinking? I scrapped it off and made a new batch after a short trip to the market. The new batch was born, much lighter in color and a lot more tasty.  I hope you enjoy the rich flavors of powdered malt in your chocolate as much as I do!

Note to self: don’t use lard in frosting, it tastes nasty!

  5. Fill prepared cupcake foils with batter, leaving 1/4 inch head space, use a measuring cup or ice cream scoop to divide batter evenly

  7. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and cool before frosting

  2. Combine malted milk powder and cream in a saucepan, cook over medium heat stirring constantly, bring mixture to a simmer, do not boil

  4. Place bowl back on stand mixer, using whisk attachment
  5. Add confectioners sugar, and blend until combined
  6. Alternate: adding chunks of cream cheese and butter, 1 teaspoon at a time, until all butter and cheese are incorporated, more confectioner sugar may be added to adjust for thickness, frosting can also be chilled if necessary.
  7. Fill large pasty bag with a fitted decorative tip, pipe frosting over cupcakes, garnish with malted milk balls if desired.

      Haha! I really was not thinking when I used the lard…horrible. I’m hoping to get back to my blog posts, I’ve really missed it. It’s been a crazy summer with plans to move out of town then many delays, coupled with a lot of family drama. I hope you are well my friend! Thanks for checking in with me!!
